Editorial: Help older adults sign up for COVID-19 vaccine
By The Editorial Advisory Board
The Shawnee County Health Department should be commended for reaching out to seniors through popup vaccine signup events. Understanding that not everyone is comfortable on a computer or smartphone, the department has created a recurring opportunity for folks to register their interest in receiving the vaccine.
According to The Topeka Capital-Journal’s Blaise Mesa, “The pop-ups are possible through a partnership with the city of Topeka, the county’s health department and the Jayhawk Area Agency on Aging.”
This is precisely the kind of creative collaboration and concentration on communities that may not have the latest technological know-how that will be needed to bring us all out of the COVID-19 pandemic. More events are planned, and you can keep up with the health department online at https://www.snco.us/hd/.
